Tbh everything on the NES. It's too archaic to be playable. If people would take there nostalgia goggles off for a while they'd realize the master system is 1000% more advanced and playable. NES had baby games like Mario and Kirby. Master system had Phantasy Star, a game for adults. There's no math there.

Original Legend of Zelda, but that might be because I never gave Zelda II a chance.

The game is completely unplayable without a guide. The only people who were able to ever play it and put it on a pedestal today are Nintendo Power fags. It was pre-internet era so you had to go out and buy a subscription or a guide to get through that shit and the payoff isn't even worth it.

Whenever someone tells me they were able to get through it without any help at all, that's how I know they're full of shit. Or they've got some weapons grade autism.

I'm not a Zelda/Nintendo hater. I think Link's Awakening is an excellent game and my favorite Zelda. But the original is so fucking unplayable it's amazing people give it so much praise. Go play it yourself without a guide if you don't believe me.

Or maybe Hunter (pic related) on the Amiga. Technology just wasn't advanced enough for what it was trying for so it was a debacle overall.

I've read that it received good reviews at the time (and because it was one of the first games to take 3d seriously it was jerked off to) but I still think it was pretty bad. I played it near release and I still don't get the love it got.

In Zelda 1 defence you do get a bow in the first dungeon which obliterates a lot of the early enemies i 1 shot, making exploration less shitty.

Zelda games in general usually have at least one "that part" where you have no clue how to progress and just scour the landscape for clues. Like Jabu Jabu in OoT or that rock that you have to transport in order to unfreeze Zoras domain in TP. Or using the Spell to get thunder in Zelda 2, or finding the flute in Alttp. It's kind of part of Zelda/nintendo design.

I haven't played a lot of bad games thankfully, but these 2 rub me the wrong way.

Lufia has atrocious combat mechanics, is grindy as fuck (gotta grind to hedge your bets vs. bosses) to kill shit and get equipment. It's long and it's all chasing McGuffins until the end when you finally get Dual blade and go kill the Sinistrals who you never see until the very fucking end.

I'll fite you on Lufia, I actually liked the combat mechanics (mainly, that is has a dynamic turn system based on your speed and equipment weight. It IS grindy, and the part looking for alumina is atrocious (while also being the less linear part of the game, so I guess it's give and take), but I wouldn't call ALL of the story chasing McGuffins, there's a lot of seeking out people and places too. And the party banter is actually pretty good for a game of its time. Also, you see Gades very early, and Amon 2/3 of the game (unless you save that alumina piece for last), and Daos well before the final battle. Plus, you get introduced to them right at the beginning. There are lots of villains/final bosses that don't appear often in their story (think, for example, Breath of Fire I and II, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana, just to name a few games from the same age). I'd say it's pretty common in videogames in general, and the Sinistrals are among the most present ones.

I won't say it's a flawless game, dungeons are kind of a drag and the characters move slowly, and you're forced to play endgame with one less character until the final battle, but I love the story and characters to bits and I played the whole game like 4 times.

I mean the 2nd quest sure, but in the first one it isn't THAT hard to find stuff. You DO go around burning random bushes hoping to find something, and that one is a very obvious one to burn. I got the game when I was 7 years old, so my memory is foggy at best (although, I'm not american, so I didn't have Nintendo Power for sure), my main problem with the game was the point at stage 7 where a Goriya blocks your way and the screen reads "Grumble Grumble", and you're supposed to give him the bait to pass.

Having played 1-2.3 as a kid in release order, I never understood all the praise for MM2. I mean sure, it's not a bad game by any means, but it's also literally nothing special. Going from 1 to 2, I was like "oh cool, more stages!" but the game also felt easy as hell. O guess it doesn't help, I guess, that at some point I knew the first game so well I started doing robot masters in reverse order for added challenge, my ideal order was fire-bomb-guts-cut-elec-ice, and I went ice-elec-cut-guts-bomb-fire instead. And I did the yellow demon the legit way since it was the only way I knew.
Megaman 2 was cool, and the weapons are fun to use, and it's a very good game, but that's about it. Also it doesn't have the platforming sections from hell the first game has. Gutsman's stage in 1 is insane if you don't know what you're doing. I remember being a little disappointed in 2, actually, because I had finished it the day after I got it, and fun as it was, I felt like the balance of low difficulty and low content was a bit of a ripoff. Afterwards I replayed it to hell, of course.

Personally my favorite is 3, because the slide was nice to have as it added a lot of mobility and possible tactics, the weapons are good with nothing as OP as the metal blade in 2, the initial stages are just the right difficulty, and the revisit stages with the clone bosses from MM2 were a really nice concept, with using the new weapons on old bosses and trying to figure out who is weak to what. Actually, was there ever another MM game with this kind of thing?

Die Hard wasn't a perfect NES game, but it's an excellent candidate for making an action game that can easily appeal to kids, you're the good guy shooting the terrorists (robbers) and saving the hostages.

Platoon has all this dark shit and gray morality, and I'm not saying you can't make a game about dark or serious matters, but the way the game is presented (at least on the NES) is as a generic shooter like any other, it didn't need the Platoon license.

I can see why someone wouldn't like Final Fantasy VI, it's really grindy and I can understand why the slow (without Sprint Shoes), grid-based movement would get on someone's nerves endlessly, but what problem would anyone have with Chrono Trigger? The battles feel way more dynamic and exciting thanks to the superior graphics and animations, the story is fun and interesting, the time travel shit is awesome albeit a bit underutilized in terms of gameplay, there's a bunch of alternate endings (even if many of them are just slideshows), music's great, and best of all it's so much easier than FFVI that you almost never need to grind. Overall it definitely feels like a step or two ahead of FFVI in terms of gameplay.

Are you contesting that I didn't think that 8 stages were more cool than 6 stages, or that the game didn't feel easy as hell? Because while I was genuinely happy with having more stages, I actually finished it the day after I got it and was kinda disappointed at how easy everything felt, there was no hard boss like Elecman or Iceman or the Yellow Devil. Or do you honestly think that "Airman is too strong" is more than a meme from a song? Airman is easy to defeat even with just the buster, dodging is tornadoes is nothing compared to dodging ice beams that hit you for 1/3 of your life on slipperly terrain.

The worst one in recent memory is Mortal Kombat 3 for the Game Gear. I tried the ROM because I was curious about why the cartridge is so rare and expensive. The real reason it never came out in the US is because it's absolutely terrible. Horrible controls, no music, awful sound, ugly graphics and really poor animation.

What's perplexing is that the Game Gear actually got an excellent port of Mortal Kombat 2 that plays well and has very impressive visuals and sound for an 8-bit game. Mortal Kombat 3 feels like one of those Chinese bootleg rom hacks. I'm pretty sure if it came to the US people who bought it would have returned it to the store.

I do dig the music and the atmosphere, though.


Nobody gives a shit edition: Alundra 2. Fuck you, game that has nothing to do in any shape or form with the original. Azure Dreams - fuck you even harder, game that takes you to level 1 each time you leave the dungeon, Monster Seed - what was even the point of this shit?

You go down to level 1 after leaving the dungeon, but its not like you become a fresh character. You keep things other than levels, and that's what its balanced around.

I really don't get you. The game does have a map overhead and if you look at it enough it's easy to get a general idea of where you are on the world map, which is only a few dozen tiles huge. There are some overworld puzzles with barely sufficient hints given out, but they're easier than some PC adventure game.

The only thing I hate about Zelda 1 is how there are a jillion enemies on screen, it's really easy to get killed, and yet you don't get to respawn back at the dungeon entrance with a decent amount of hearts.

as a kid, there was a blockbuster and a mom & pop rental store near my house

blockbuster had the games you'd expect to have, while the mom & pop store had Heavy Nova, Fantasia, and generally much worse or older (and presumably cheaper) Genesis games for rent.

technically, heavy nova's controls were even worse than fantasia's. but there was something eerie and cool about heavy nova. it is a terrible game but I'm glad I got to experience it.

fantasia is unmitigated shit, and my answer to OP's question.

This game is shit, plain and simple.

Oh, let's all get the warp whistle and warp to "big world"! Too bad big world isn't fucking fun, like the rest of this game. The entire thing is designed to anger and frustrate you. Oh, you get Kuribo's shoe on one fucking level! Wow, pardon me while I make the universal motion for a handjob. Kuribo's shoe fucking sucked. What did it do, exactly? It let you JUMP ON THINGS, something you were able to do the entire fucking game. Oh, also you looked gay.

There are some interesting power-ups in the game, such as Tanookie Mario, Hammer Mario, and Frog Mario. But guess what? You can get them on like 2 levels total, and if you fuck up and get hit ONCE, you lose them, FOREVER. Wow, that's fun! I love games that demand I play perfectly or have no fun, because I'm a fucking jap who strives for absolute perfection in gaming otherwise I kill myself.

Mario 3 may have been interesting or fun at one time, but the game is a worthless piece of shit in today's day and age. It's horribly flawed and full of punch-in-the-dick moments, much more so than it has moments that are just fun to play.
